I am also eternally interested in the fact that the only time you hear about transmen in the news is because they’re pregnant.

Interesting point about these news. With how popular these articles about pregnant transmen get, it's kinda surprising that you never see anyone bringing up the topic of father/mother leave.

I mean, ideally there shouldn't be this difference, parents of both sexes should get a fair leave. But the reality is that in most countries a trans man would get a way bigger leave than a gay man that adopted a kid.

Gay men and lesbian women don't have the option to simply identify as the opposite sex when it's convenient. If you really claim that you are the opposite sex and there is no difference between you and a cis gay/lesbian, then at the very least you should also keep that opposite sex identity even when it's not convenient.
